Cell Therapy Shows Remarkable Ability to Eradicate Cancer in Clinical Study Investigators from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have reported more encouraging news about one of the most exciting methods of cancer treatment today. The largest clinical study ever conducted to date of patients with advanced leukemia found that 88 percent achieved complete remissions after being treated

A team of MU researchers are applying one of the first uses of artificial intelligence principles to the field of materials science Discovering how atoms — such as a single layer of carbon atoms found in graphene, one of the world’s strongest materials — work to create a solid material is currently a major research

Simulations Help North and South Dakota Researchers Decide Which Technology Would Make a Better Solar Collector, Quantum Dot or Nanowire A trio of researchers at North Dakota State University, Fargo and the University of South Dakota have turned to computer modeling to help decide which of two competing materials should get its day in the

The researchers found that machine learning – the science of getting computers to learn over time without human intervention – is as accurate as a team of child and adolescent psychiatrists, including a forensic psychiatrist, in determining risk for school violence. “Previous violent behavior, impulsivity, school problems and negative attitudes were correlated with risk to

Sensor can monitor wiring in a building or ship, and signal when repairs are needed. A new system devised by researchers at MIT can monitor the behavior of all electric devices within a building, ship, or factory, determining which ones are in use at any given time and whether any are showing signs of an

The nation’s sewer system is a topic most people would prefer to avoid, but its aging infrastructure is wearing out, and broken pipes leaking raw sewage into streets and living rooms are forcing the issue. To better predict which pipes need to be fixed, scientists report in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology that certain conditions

It is hard to get people excited about software, says Eliza Grames, a doctoral candidate in ecology and evolutionary biology. Yet, the software she has developed is exciting for anyone about to embark on a new research and trying to determine whether it’s actually … new. Put yourself into the shoes of a researcher. Before

“While our process is not yet optimised, we estimate that an ammonia decomposition reactor no bigger than a two-litre bottle will provide enough hydrogen to run a mid-range family car. “ A new technique for producing hydrogen from ammonia could allow for a new generation of clean, green vehicle fuels. Energy researchers at the UK’s
